I don't think we're picking at 39...

I hope Fitt works his magic and we get 3-4 solid starters in this draft.  Would love to see him sneak us back into the end of the first round to get a solid DL like Keion White or Isaiah Foskey, that 5th year option is a nice get for premium positions.

I think it's highly unlikely we traded back up into the first round with the amount of draft capital we have left. We have no 1sr next year and are low on picks this year after trading up to 1sr overall. Any trade into the first round likely means we're trading a player, which I guess could happen. 

 

I think it's way more likely they trade back from 39 to pick up another pick in the top 100

Someone on the reddit Panthers said Sal Paolantonio from ESPN reported we are trying to trade back up for a late 1st round.

 

So we might be seeing 2 Panthers get picked tonight.

 

Stay tuned we could be trading up for another weapon for Bryce possibly a WR/TE...

 

as much as I understand an edge or cb, even lb, Reich is an offensive minded coach who wants to throw the ball down the field.   Another good weapon on that side of the ball is understandable, and he's said he thinks we already have a good defense.  

and that's fine by me...we don't have a first next year, so he may pull the trigger on getting a WR/TE this year, worry about the D next year.

It has to be dependent on Addison, Flowers, Maher & Kincaid methinks.  Unless Q Johnston is falling and they like him, but I just don't see it.  

Joey Porter MAYBE, but he seems locked in, lowest possible being JAX IMO.

I'm thinking Flowers.  I just read somewhere this week we feel good at the other wr positions this year, but the slot could an area we upgrade.  I think that's Flowers but my brain is on info overload.

Yeah we still have a average WR core even with the additions of Thielen/Chark. We could still use another legit WR or TE.

 

My dream is we trade up for Zay Flowers. That kid is special. I think he will be the best WR in this draft reminds me of a young Antonio Brown.

Our current group is tall and shifty.  TMJ, Chark, Thielen all 6'2 and above so we don't really need to seek out a bigger type. Those guys all historically are 70% and above aligned as outside receivers, so I definitely want a better option than Shi Smith or D Byrd for 4 man sets.  Shenault ain't bad but we can clearly upgrade with a guy for the long term future here.  

I personally love Marvin Mims and even Tank Dell and don't view them that far off from Flowers, but hey, if they want Zay, power to them.

If we trade up for Flowers I might lose it! He's the guy I want the most after we take Bryce.

 

I hear a lot of teams like him though. I wouldn't be shocked if he's the 1st WR off the board. I think Johnston is most likely to fall.

    • Sober. Still feeling it. I really like how the schedule is laid out for us. Perfect for a new HC and rebuilding team. Aside from the Bengals, there aren't  any good teams before the bye. Chargers will be, but they're having to figure poo out just like we are and they'll be coming here for an early game. That one is a toss up. I like our defense against them. I think we'll give the Bengals a fight, but I wouldn't put money on us winning that one. But the saints can be swept. They're beat up and just don't have much going on. They'll be at the bottom of the division. I feel like we will split with the falcons and the bucs. There's nothing scary about the raiders or that washington team. Chicago is another toss up, but they aren't scary either....not yet anyways. We're getting them early in the season so I like our chances. I especially like our defense against a rookie QB. And the broncos....boring. Giants....again, boring. Looking at this, we've got a good defensive thing going on. I think the unit will be better this year a d we're in season 2 of Evero. I like us especially against rookie QBs, and we'll have at least 3 we're facing before the bye. We come in and play smash mouth football and just keep hitting (pounding) away and I think we're competitive. It's that schedule after the bye that scares me. Hopefully by that point they've built up a lot of confidence. You get a scrappy dawg that's got some confidence and a lot of fight in him and you've always got a shot. I think that's what we'll be this year. This year isn't about winning all the games. It's about building confidence and learning what we've got to do.
    • To be honest I just haven't been paying attention. I have PTSD from all these shitty Tepper hires. I'm just going to wait and see what takes the field.
    • What is extremely rare?  Taking a young quarterback when you have a starter?  If that is what you are referring to, at one time it wasn't that rare.
